Paladin Cover Exploit - something needs to be done!

[VerdeLuck]

Punishment seems somewhat stupid. I mean for what? Using the ability? If not then what is your proof? I could get into a heated battle and use cover on someone to protect them but oh no! it's Onsal and then they capture! Now I get BANNED. At this point they could remove the ability alltogether.

Punishment for abusing a known bug. Exploiting bugs to your benefit is pretty clearly outlined in the TOS as punishable. It's an accepted bug on the bug report forums, so continuing to abuse it would be considered exploiting, no different than if someone discovered a duplication bug and abused it to make extra gil.

[Lambda-Delta]

Yes! Please fix this bug, its absolutely ridiculous that its still in the game after being posted about FOUR MONTHS AGO! Absolute joke :/

[Absimiliard]

Working as intended.

Not changed by the looks of the final patch notes. It's a shame, because this one bit of cheese has pushed Onsal from my favourite to worst Frontlines map. I just treat it like a Team Deathmatch and play for kills these days, because I generally can't have much of an impact on whether or not we cap flags. It's less of an issue in Seal Rock but I've still seen it used there too.

While it will be less impactful, I presume this will end up being used in Rival Wings as well. No doubt you'll be able to use the same cover trick to pick up fuel cans without the possibility of being interrupted.

More suffering in Onsal yay...

I literally dunno how to say it better.. if i exploit some other bug and get caught i'll get at least a warning.. dunno why this can not be done for this occurance..
I know that maybe someone are ignorant about it (even if ignorance is not an excuse, i could go offending ppl left and right and use as excuse that i have never read TOS) and that is why i would not BANN!! ppl, but at least give them a warning that that is not acceptable >_>

Fight fire with fire. Get into the strat too.
It's not an exploit if the ability is built that way.
Git gud and counter it. Warrior pull, dancer and reaper fear, kill the guardian pally asap etc.

Thats like sayin "yeah they abuse that LB glitch but whatever lets just to the same!"

Its cheap, its lazy, its just wrong...

If it were like, you can cover one 3 sec, like in, you got the spot, started claming it and the enemy just storms in trying to interrupt you, then you pala may get that last few sec to help you... but not "ok imma walk up between 30 ppl and you watch me steal it :3"

EDIT:

WAIT... do the patchnotes really dont say anything about pala??

[Rueby]

Bumping this.

[Towa-Musa]

It's sad. You can literally fight back against this, but snitching continues to come up as the response. Maybe PvP isn't for you.

Still... Tuesday might find us free of this cheese.

The fact you used the word 'Snitching' makes me lead to believe that you KNOW this is a exploit but you continue to defend it.

[Towa-Musa]

can confirm that contradance does not work against it.
